Editing Cut-to-length logging (section)

==Advantages compared to full-tree logging==
*Cleaner wood since the logs are not [[skidder|skidded]] on the ground to the landing (in tree length more than full tree)
*More fresh wood (in tree length more than full tree)
*Less damage to retained trees in [[thinning]] operations
*Typically requires fewer types of machines in an operation
*No need to clear large landings close to the road
*Greater personnel safety due to enclosed/protected machine cabs
*More environmentally friendly due to:
**less [[soil]] disturbance than in skidding operations (if improper skidding practices take place) 
**no [[Slash (logging)|slash]] dumped at the landing
**higher retention of foliar nutrients within the harvested area
